From David Luck, Rockefeller University, May 1989

Phenotype: impaired motility

MBO is an acronym for “move backwards only.” Three allelic mbo1 mutants were isolated after mutagenesis with ICR191 in the 137c background, but we are uncertain which allele is present in the various mbo1 strains in the Chlamydomonas Resource Center collection.
